VALVE AN D FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,072, dated July 29, 1890.

Application filed April 29, 1890.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ARTHUR HOMER DAU- CHY, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Valves and Fancets; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to valve-stoppers and nozzles for cans, barrels, and vessels commonly used for storage of liquids, and aims to provide a stopper for effectually closing the barrel, can, or other vessel for storage or transportation, and which can be removed and replaced by a valved stopper that is adapted to have a nozzle applied thereto for drawing the contents therefrom when required, the nozzle being provided with a key by means of which the valve is unseated.

A further object of the invention is to relieve the key from all strain when drawing the liquid, and to force the valve on its seat by means independent of the spring, and lock it against persons not provided with suitable means for unseating the said valve.

A still further object of the invention is to simplify the construction of this class of devices and increase the facilities for gaining access to the parts for repairs, cleaning, or for any purpose whatsoever.

The improvement consists in the novel features of construction, and in the peculiar arrangement and adaptation of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a can with my improved form of stopper attached. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the valve-stopper. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the valve-stopper and the nozzle. Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the valve. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the nozzle-support and valve seat. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the nozzlesupport, showing the compression-washer in position. Fig. 7 is a vertical central section Serial No. 349,923. (No model.)

of the valve-cylinder. Fig. 8 is a detail view of a hollow plug or stopper.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, M is a can of ordinary construction, showing the valve-stopper placed at the lowest left-hand corner. Obviously it may be located at any desired position; but the point shown is preferred. The valvestopper is composed of the valve-cylinder A, the valve J, and the nozzle-support F, having the valve-seat G and the tubular extension h, on which the coinpression-washer I is mounted.

The can is provided with the cylindrical socket B, having an angular flange O, at the outer end an annular recess,which is designed to receive the Washer B, of rubber, leather, or other suitable material, and the flange g of the socket H, to which the valve-cylinder A is secured. The socket B is internally threaded and the socket H externally threaded and adapted to screw within the socket B, the outer faces of the flanges g and O coming flush when the socket H is screwed home.

hen shipping the cans or other vessels, the valved stopper is removed and is replaced by the hollow plug, (shown in Fig. 8,) the plug being screwed in or removed from the socketBby asuitable tool-such as apronged driver-the ends of which are inserted in openings H in the flange thereof. The valvecylinder is removed or screwed into the socket B in precisely the same manner as the plug, and is provided with openings H in its flange for the reception of the ends of the pron ged driver. The inner end of the valvecylinder is provided with the annular stop 0 and the pin S, and between its ends with the openings D. The nozzle-support F is tubular, and is secured within the valve-cylinder in any desirable manner, preferablyby being soldered therein, and is provided at its inner end with the valve-seat G and the nipple or tubular extension h, on which is mounted the compression-washer I. The Valve J, having the tubular stem E, is arranged between the nozzlesupport F and the stop 0, and is held against the valve-seat by the spiral spring P, which is mounted on the valve-stem and held between the stop 0 and the valve J. The valve-stem is adapted to pass between the stop 0, and is provided at ICO its inner end with projections e which are diametrically opposite each other, and with longitudinal slots 6, and horizontal notches c at the inner ends of the slots 6. The edges between the slots 6 and the projections e incline for the purpose hereinafter set forth. The nozzle Q, having the lateral dischargespout q, is adapted to fit snugly on the support F, and its outer end is provided with the centrally-perforated ends 0" and 7', through which the key R passes, the inner end of the key being adapted to fit on the angular projection j on the valve to effect a turning of the said valve when the'key is rotated.

The operation of the invention is as follows:

The nozzle Q is fitted on the support F, and the key R is pressed in until its inner end fits over the projection j. Turn the key to the left until the projections e strike against the sides of the pin S, which brings the slots 6 directly opposite the said pin. A pressure in on the key forces the Valve away from its seat and beyond the openings D, and the oil will flow in through said openings D and out through the support F and nozzle Q. By turning the key to the left, when pushed in to its utmost limit, the pin will enter the notches e and hold the valve open until the required amount of oil is drawn, when the key is turned to the right to disengage the notches e from the pin and allow the spring P to seat the valve. To make the valve secure and prevent leakage, and to prevent the valve from being pressed from its seat by inserting a rod or other device in the support, the key is turned to the right and the inclined edges 6 of the valve-stem riding on the pin will force the valve to its seat and hold it there until the proper key is applied to the valve and turns der. substantially as set forth.

2. In a valved stopper,the combination,with the valve-cylinder having a valve-seat and the cross-pin, of the valve having its inner edge inclined in opposite directions from a medial line to ride on the said cross-pin and force the valve on its seat, and having longitudinal slots extending from the inclined edges, and notches extending from the sides of the said slots to receive the cross-pin and hold the valve open, substantially as described.

3. In a valved stopper,the combination,with the valve-cylinder having a valve-seat and the cross-pin, of the valve having inclined edges and having longitudinal slots 6 and horizontal notches e, and having projections b to limit the movement of the valve and T guide the cross-pin into the slots 6, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4'. The herein-described valved stopper, composed of the valve-cylinder having the annular stop 0 and the pin S, the support F, having the valve-seat and the nipple h, the compression-washer I, mounted on the said nipple, the valve having the angular projection j, and having the'tubular stem E, which" is provided with the projections 6 the slots and notches e and e and with the inclined edges a and the spring P, mounted on the tubular valve-stem and held between the valve and the stop 0, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
